SUPERIORS MENTIONED IN 'TEE VERNON NEWS! Under a two column action picture of Jim Moro of Vernon Canadians of the Okanagan Senior Amateur Hockey. League appearing in the January 16th issue of The Vernon News, the name of Terrace Bay Superiors reached the readers of the far western province of B.C. Headed by the a! under his picture, Jim Moro -- Goal Taker, the following is recorded, | "Experiencing his. first season as a senior, Jim has caught on with the local fans cue to his clever stick-handling and opportunism around the opposing net. Formerly with Terrace Bay Superiors in Ontario, the young right wing holds the unique position of lead- ing scorer for Canucks, With 25 winners to date, Jim could make this his first term up, a memorable one. With "old hands" like George Agar and Sherman Blair coaching him along, what's to stop him?" 4s of January llth, Jim had participated in 37 games with a total of 46 points made up of 25 goals and 21 assists. Having.seen action in 3S games, George Agar is the only one ahead of Jim in the ranks of the Canadians. Of the official list of 72 scoring figures released for the entire League, Jim ranks eight, leading many former professionals now in that amateur league, In a recent game when Vernon beat Kamloops 5 to 4, the following appeared in the write- up: "Then came Vernon's third counter by Jim Moro, a goal that was fit to win any game. Taking a pass from Willie Schmidt on his own blue line, Jim stick-handled into the middle, cut to the wing and raced in to dump a beauty to Shirley's short sice, leaving a trail of dazed maroon shirts in his wake", Of this play, Ian MacFarlane of Sports Noundup writes: "Young Jim Moro emerged' a star if fot On his goal alone. With a wonderful display of stickmanship and determination, Jim carried a short pass from Willie Schmidt right through the Kamloops ranks to net coolly on Shirley's short side, Quiet and unassuming, Jim shook off the congratulations that followed and returned to the affray with a polish that is remarkable for one of his years and experience. George Agar is coaching the winger along nicely, being close at hand when the word of wisdom is needed most", From letters addressed here, Jim wishes Jack Thomas and his Superiors all the best of luck and wishes also to be remembered to his friends, Cus. 2 Bg OLSEN TAKES COMMANDING LEAD IN CLUB STANDINGS accumulated points going into the third round are as follows: Wins in 3rd Name Total Wins in 3rd ' Name Total round ron ee 'Foints round ey Foints 5 Olsen 120 ip Thompson 594 3 Crockford | 975 Bs Duquette 58 4 Fineault 92, noe seddard 55 5 MacDonald 86 1 McLellan 474 Zz Hale | 78 z McInnes 45 2 Latour 78 2 Sinkins 36 2 McLeod / 76 x Ostling 70 3 Knight 663 4 Farrow ©: 639 Ss .
